Smithville Wedding Photographer | Dalton & Kate

Smithville country weddingPIN

I think I’ve become a Smithville wedding photographer after photographing so many weddings there over the years.  I can now say that I can finally find my way around and I know ahead of time where my gps is going to lead me astray (anyone that lives in Smithville will know Google doesn’t know it’s way around there)

I’m ecstatic because country weddings are what we’ve always enjoyed photographing.  Weddings that are outdoors, intimate and sincere.  If I only photographed country weddings and rustic weddings in Muskoka, I would have my dreams fulfilled.  Months before Dalton & Kate’s wedding they emailed knowing that they had to have us photograph their wedding.  Thankfully we were available and immediately started planning.  Since they live in Alberta, we had quite a few Skype meetings over coffee and details.  I’m incredibly thankful to have photographed your wonderful wedding at your parents property in Smithville Dalton & Kate.  This is just a small collection of wedding photographs from their day.

Kate’s wedding gown was one of my favourites this year.  Truly timeless & elegant.

Dalton spent years resorting the family truck with his father.  We jumped in it and took it for a drive down the old dirt road and photographed them in some country fields

Everyone did such a wonderful job decorating the tent for the reception.  Love the backdrop to their head table
